This was cool and interesting, but maybe could have been a little bit longer to expand on some things.

I’m not typically a YA reader, but this is book club so I’m reading out of my comfort zone. I think this was written in a way that is accessible to adult readers who might typically be turned off by books that read too young. I thought the character development was really good and the characters were believable. The tension the author maintained throughout the book kept my interest. I wanted to know how it would all unfold without constantly feeling the need to make predictions. This was a good time.

Sariyah and her abilities were amazing, as was the plot. I admit that the teen's plots were frustrating to read through while I was internally screaming at how bad they were, at how much could (and did) go wrong, but I also understand that, as teens, they don't always think ahead to possible consequences. Sariyah's mother did frustrate me, though. As someone who also deals with depression, there are days when it takes everything in me to get out of bed, but I grit my teeth and do it, and I don't have two children who depend on me like Sariyah and her brother do on her. No two mental illnesses can truly be compared, I know, but that got to me. I wouldn't be as forgiving as she was. However, the book was still amazing and I legit didn't predict all the twists and turns, so well done!
